Hackers Publish Stolen Medibank Customer and Health Data

Hackers released a sample of stolen Medibank customer data on 9 November 2022 after the insurer refused to pay a ransom. The BBC reported that records covering 9.7 million customers had been taken, with the published material including identity information and some medical claims history. Police warned of blackmail and phishing risks. A breach of an insurer's records exposed both proof-of-identity details and private health information.
